Cahuinarí National Natural Park

The national park spans 575,000 hectares of tropical rainforest, containing extensive networks of rivers, wetlands, and diverse forest ecosystems.

The Colombian government established this national park in 1986 as part of a strategic initiative to protect the Amazon basin's natural resources.

Indigenous communities within the park boundaries maintain traditional practices of resource management, passing knowledge through generations about medicinal plants and sustainable living.

Access to the park requires coordination through Leticia city, with local guides available for navigation through waterways and forest paths.

The park contains populations of river dolphins, which swim through the interconnected water systems and provide opportunities for wildlife observation.
